Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlycerophosphocholine
DescriptionGlycerophosphocholine, also known as GPC or choline alfoscerate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycerophosphocholines. These are lipids containing a glycerol moiety carrying a phosphocholine at the 3-position. Glycerophosphocholine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Glycerophosphocholine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Glycerophosphocholine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Glycerophosphocholine can be biosynthesized from 11-cis-retinol and PC(24:1(15Z)/15:0); which is mediated by the enzyme lecithin retinol acyltransferase. In addition, Retinyl ester and glycerophosphocholine can be biosynthesized from vitamin a and PC(24:1(15Z)/15:0) through its interaction with the enzyme lecithin retinol acyltransferase. In cattle, glycerophosphocholine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the retinol metabolism pathway.
